Silestone is a Spanish provider of high-quality quartz countertops. They come in a variety of colors, edges, and other features.<\/p>\n

Like other quartz countertops<\/a>, Silestone<\/a> offers stain-resistant and heat-protection features. It is a durable rock that lasts for years without issue.<\/p>\n

The average composition of quartz stones is 93% quartz and 7% resin. However, Silestone make-up is 90% quartz and 10% resins. It does not change the look and feel of the stone.<\/p>\n

Still, the added resins make the stone harder than competitors stones. On the Mohs Hardness Scale<\/a>, Silestone rates a 10 compared to a 7 for Caesarstone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, Caesarstone runs about $60 to $80 per square foot. Silestone prices range between $50 to $70 per square feet.<\/p>\n

Finally, Silestone offers a 10 to 15-year warranty on their products depending on the dealer and stone you choose. Fortunately, most consumers never need to use this warranty.<\/p>\n

Now that you have a good idea of why many consumers choose Silestone quartz counters<\/a>, we want to go through some of our favorite stones in the line.<\/p>\n
